Re: [lace] smelly lace book

[Diane Zierold]

I read a lot of books from the library -- and yes, some of them really  
stink from tobacco.  I spray the book with a room deodorizer and  
disinfectant while fanning the pages.  This may not be the best way to  
treat a book, but these aren't heirlooms and it works.

Re: [lace] Big pillows

[Diane Zierold]

This engineering felt sounds very interesting.  Do you use it over  
another surface for the pins or is it thick enough as is.   Can you  
advise the pros/cons over the foam?  And, where is it available?


Thanks ahead for all information

Like so many of you I too, like to work on larger pillows and find I  
don't

have any difficulty with the lace being out of reach because I work on
engineering felt which I can pick up and move to the exact position  
I need.
Sometimes I work on a very large piece of felt and sometimes on a  
patchwork
of them, just depends on what I am doing, but it does make moving  
around the
pillow easy and I don't have to stretch right across to the back  
where it

can be out of reach!!



I also like the hint from Devon about leaving a clear area around the
pricking when using contact paper and also the one about rounding  
the edges.
Just so much valuable information comes off this list - it is never  
ending!!

Thanks everyone.



Sincerely,



Sue Fink,

Masterton, New Zealand where it is sunny today, but the forecasters  
are
saying awful things will happen this weekend.  Winter is here much  
too soon

for me I am afraid!!

Greetings arachnids from a wet May Bank Holiday Rochdale.

You will be glad to learn that David has completed the mat which can  
be viewed at:

He has promised to send pictures of the lace off the pillow. When he  
does I will update the website and post another message on arachne.  
Could I congratulate David on yet another excellent piece of lace.



Julian.

[lace] Lace Products

[Diane Zierold]

Cleaning up my desk today, I cam upon a clipped page from This Week  
magazine -- date unknown.
The Consumer section had a section of "The best...lace-embellished  
style".  The was very nice to see.  The websites below still have the  
products shown.


Lace Bib

Crochet Bicycle Basket
http://aplusrstore.com/product_detail.php?show=product&pid=314&cid=57

I'm really partial to the black basket for my red bike -- but $70 US  
might be a bit much.

The original website no longer had the boot - hopefully they sold out!

[lace] OIDFA Bulletin Jan-March

[Diane Zierold]

I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the current issue of the OIDFA  
Bulletin.  The articles are all very interesting.  There is much on  
the upcoming congress in Japan, and interesting patterns.


On the cover (and interior)  is the most wonderful lace panel   
designed and made by Katsuko Sakagami.  This is a stunning work of art  
both of design and workmanship.  I hope everyone will have a chance   
to see this issue.

Re: [lace] Lace on licence plates

[Diane Zierold]

James spoke about Lori's "Lacefry" license plate.  I  wanted to use Ms  
Lace as my first choice -- someone else had it, also.  Maybe that was  
Jeri.  I settled for something better - "Ms Lace", which goes right  
along with me new name.  I got lucky.

Re: [lace] Magnifiers...

[Diane Zierold]

I meant to send this to the list yesterday, but just sent it to Shirlee.

Recently, I purchased adjustable magnifier glasses.  They are extremely 
light weight and really look like glasses (maybe pop eyed glasses)  See this 
site:


http://www.hammacher.com/publish/73560.asp?promo=QSearch

Pricey, but they work.   If you need greater magnification, how about 
wearing

a clip on magnifier with sturdy reading glasses.  I haven't tried this, but
it might work and may be a less expensive solution.

[lace] Arachne get together at OIDFA

I was wondering if there will be a meeting of Arachne at OIDFA.  I've been 
out of town, and thought maybe I've missed an announcement.

Re: [lace] Spiral (self-threading) Needles "The Gift of Time"

[Diane Zierold]

I tried to find the blue plastic self threader on the Lee Valley website and 
couldn't seem to locate it.  I've seen this concept before and it works if 
you locate the needle correctly.  One of my sewing machines has this 
attachment on it.


That said, Lee Valley is known for the quality of their products.  They are 
more expensive for the wookworking tools and fittings, but it is the very 
top quality in it's price category.


If anyone can find the item number, please let me know.

Interesting concept. I wonder if the open bit of eye would tend to catch?
Another aid to needle-threading is a little device made in Italy, called 
an

automatic needle threader. I haven't tried it - am tempted.
